A Kingwood man was indicted last week by a Montgomery County grand jury on four counts of Possession of Child Pornography.

Jason Corey Roberts, 36, was arrested on Jan. 11 following an online investigation conducted by officers with Harris County Precinct 4 Constable’s Office and in conjunction with Montgomery County Precinct 4 Constable’s deputies.

A search warrant of Roberts’ residence was issued, based on information obtained from that investigation. Once inside the house, authorities allege they found visual images of child pornography in Roberts’ home computer.

Each count of the charge carries with it - if convicted - a third-degree felony that includes prison time of 2-10 years or probation, and up to a $10,000 fine.

Roberts is currently in the Montgomery County Jail, in Conroe, on a total of bond of $100,000.

“The Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office takes these types of crimes very seriously,” prosecutor Jeff Hohl said. “Every effort will be made in the prosecution of these charges.”

Roberts’ case was assigned to the 221st District Court of Judge Lisa Michalk. His next appearance in court is scheduled for April 2.

Roberts is not listed on the Texas Department of Public Safety’s Sex Offender Registry. A phone call to Roberts’ attorney went unanswered

Intoxication manslaughter: Brian Drew Goetz, 20, of Magnolia, was indicted by the grand jury on two counts of Intoxication Manslaughter last week, stemming from a one-vehicle crash on Nichols Sawmill Road Oct. 26 near Country Woods Road.

According to a DPS arrest warrant, Goetz allegedly was driving a pickup truck that went out of control, skidded across the road and then went airborne before striking a tree.

Two of Goetz’s passengers - Tori Nichole, 19, and Kevin Wayne Hansen, 20 - were ejected from the vehicle upon impact, and died from their injuries.

Audrey Trent, 19, was found still seated in the middle of the pickup’s front seat. She was the only one wearing a seat belt.

Goetz was also indicted for intoxication assault.
